2021 Bronco sport lower control arm removal

[Chambr]

Having a heck of a time getting this control arm out ... appears that a bolt that is supposed to go thru the arm is covered by a box frame of sorts ... cant even see a bolt in there (although there has to be) ... took as much apart as i could think of and yet no movement ..... If theres a trick i am missing let me know

It did in the fact that the bolt I am trying to get to is Captive

In your last photo the outer side member is still in place
Did you remove the front cross member so the outer side member can be removed.
In the photo I see you have 3 of the 4 bolts removed that attach the outer side member.

Once the outer side member is removed you will have access to the "captive bolt head"
